For our final episode of our Saw season, we visit Eli Roth's notorious Hostel from 2005. Jordan has been ominously warning Stefan about this one – will it live up to its dubious torture porn classification? Find out. Also, Jordan and Stefan reveal next season's horror franchise.

So what else have James Wan and Leigh Whannell been up to? Creating an ENTIRELY separate uber-successful horror franchise of course!

Turns out, Saw is infinitely adaptable into other media! Jordan and Stefan explore the musical and physical possibilities in this first Saw bonus episode. 

Saw X

Wednesday Apr 03, 2024

Wednesday Apr 03, 2024

It's all led up to this – the most well-reviewed Saw movie in franchise history. Jigsaw is front and center (no more copycats!) in this back-to-basics trap-a-thon...that's also a suprisingly heartfelt love letter to John Kramer? What is even happening? And where do these movies go from here? Jordan and Stefan wrap up the series in grand style and discuss what's it's all meant. Plus – rankings, rankings, rankings!

Spiral: From the Book of Saw

Wednesday Mar 27, 2024

Wednesday Mar 27, 2024

The one with Chris Rock and Samuel Jackson! Jordan and Stefan watch this departure from the usual Sawfare, in which there is 100% less Jigsaw and 100% more police procedural. We might also get some dialogue that seems airlifted in from Chris Rock's standup routines, but you never know. 

Jigsaw

Wednesday Mar 20, 2024

Jigsaw is back! Or is he???? 7 years after the last movie, Jordan and Stefan pick up the story with this much glossier take on Saw. Apparently there are trap murders happening again, and nobody can figure it out because a)Jigsaw is dead and b)we have a whole new cast of police that aren't very good at solving mysteries. But is it any good? Let's find out.

Wednesday Mar 13, 2024

Finally, we've reached the end of the road, the final chapter, the – wait, aren't there 3 more movies after this? Jordan and Stefan watch Saw 3D (or possible Saw: The Final Chapter) and reflect on the long, twisty, flashback- and trap-filled journey to get here. What does it all mean? Have we been rehabilitated yet? Let's find out.

Saw VI

Wednesday Mar 06, 2024

Wednesday Mar 06, 2024

All roads lead here – to the one that's about health insurance. Suppose it was inevitable that the series that starts with incurable cancer will have to grapple with the intricacies and absurdities of the American healthcare system. 

Saw V

Wednesday Feb 28, 2024

Wednesday Feb 28, 2024

Jigsaw's still dead, right? Nevermind that, let's get to what the people want – a showdown between Hoffman and Strahm! Jordan and Stefan continue down the weird plotty path of the Saw-ga with this fifth installment.

Saw IV

Wednesday Feb 21, 2024

Wednesday Feb 21, 2024

The Saw train keeps on chugging, even if Jigsaw is dead (????). But you can't keep a good trap down – Stefan & Jordan "enjoy" this fourth helping of "therapy" at the hands of John Kramer despite his apparent demise.
